The Baltimore Ravens and offensive coordinator Greg Roman parted ways Thursday after four seasons in charge of the offense.
The move comes after the Ravens were bounced out of the playoffs on Sunday by the Cincinnati Bengals and followed a season in which Baltimore finished the season 16th in yards (338.8) and 19th in points per game (20.6).

“After visiting with Coach Harbaugh and meeting with my family, I have decided that now is the right time to pass the crows so you can explore new challenges and opportunities,” Roman said in a statement.
